Title: Lobed Ceramic Vessel
Artist:Darren Dai
Material: Hand-built stoneware ceramic, high-fired
Dimensions: Ø 12 × H 23 cm (Ø 4.7″ × H 9″)
Edition: Unique piece
Availability:In stock
This lobed ceramic vessel was built entirely by hand—pinched, pressed, and shaped without molds—allowing each curve and edge to carry the direct imprint of Darren Dai’s process. The petal-like opening recalls classical Chinese vase forms, yet its textured surface and irregular rhythm speak of erosion, emergence, and time.
Clay is not treated here as a passive material, but as a living substance. Fired at high temperatures yet retaining its organic rawness, the piece reflects the artist’s Taoist sensibility: to let form arise, rather than be imposed.
Each vessel is singular. Its imperfections are not flaws, but traces—of touch, of thought, of stillness in motion.
